PayPoint welcomes NLC's provisional decision

PayPoint welcomes the provisional decision to reject Camelot's
proposal to offer Ancillary Activities

PayPoint plc ("PayPoint") welcomes the National Lottery Commission's
announcement this morning of its provisional decision to reject Camelot's plan
to offer ancillary activities, including mobile top ups, bill payments and other
services, through its terminals.

Dominic Taylor, Chief Executive of PayPoint, said: "This is a victory for local
shops, including sub- post offices, whose earnings and footfall would be
undermined by this proposal. Today's decision should protect vulnerable people
from the increased temptation to gamble.

"It would be entirely wrong if Camelot were to be allowed to exploit its
monopoly position, and we are pleased that the National Lottery Commission has
accepted the compelling arguments that the proposal would have distorted
competition in the bill payments sector."

On the update IC says BUY today ( I foun it a bit late on the day, but better late than .......... )

Interesting to see how Directors view retail shareholders - they can buy at 1p (recent News=Options), and sell at 23p DYOR.
I'm not sure I like this level of profiteering and presume they can't wait to offload stock when (we) -the idiot public - is will to pay so dearly for paper they can get for little more than by just turning up. Grr!

That's the nature of share options, but not sure I like it either.

Mobile money group Monitise has announced a joint venture to form the 'Mobile Money Network'.

The JV has been formed with retailer Best Buy Europe and the personal backing of Carphone Warehouse founder Charles Dunstone.

Monitise, which will own 40%, says the network will launch in 2011.

It will be 'an independent, trusted and secure one-stop shop for mobile services and be a place for the best technology and ideas within shopping, banking and marketing to come together'.

Monitise Supports U.S. Bank's Contactless Payment Pilot
"A contactless payment service which allows shoppers to purchase products in stores using their mobile phone handset is being trialled in America using innovative technology from Monitise, the UK-based leader in global mobile banking and payments.

Employees of U.S. Bank, the fifth largest bank in America, are testing the system which allows people to pay for products simply by waving their mobile phone handset over the contactless payment terminal at the shopping register.

A microSD equipped with a chip that securely stores one's credit or debit details is inserted in a mobile device and is read by the terminal. For iPhones, the microSD can be embedded into a specially-designed and patented iPhone case. The payment capable microSD and iPhone case are the product of US-based DeviceFidelity.

The contactless payments system is password protected and can be immediately disabled by the bank in the event the device is lost or stolen.

The pilot brings together Monitise's expertise in mobile financial services apps with DeviceFidelity's In2Pay microSD memory card and Visa's payWave contactless transactions technology."

Monitise to Bring Mobile Payments to Nigeria
Monitise welcomes the news that the Central Bank of Nigeria has granted a provisional licence to the company and its partners to introduce payments by mobile phone across the country.

The move will see Monitise, an established Visa partner, utilising its proven Globe platform, to offer financial services over the mobile phone to the unbanked. The service will also see the first deployment of the Monitise Mobile Wallet solution.

Monitise is delighted to have the opportunity to work with local partners to enable anyone in Nigeria with a mobile handset to access financial services.

The project will be in part enabled by the US $1.5m of development funding made by the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund to Monitise in 2009.

Monitise's technology enables users to securely manage their money on their mobile phones and take advantage of a number of services including:

Adding money to their handset's mobile wallet or making withdrawals at a countrywide network of processing agents

Transferring money to other people or organisations over the handset

Obtaining their balances via SMS text alerts

Future services will include savings, insurance and pensions

Lee Cameron, Chief Commercial Officer of Monitise, said: "In conjunction with our local partners, we are delighted to be able to offer Monitise's technology in to this well regulated environment, empowering the millions of Nigerians who cannot access, or simply do not have, a conventional bank account - what we know as the 'unbanked' - to enjoy the security and benefits of inclusion within the financial world.

"We are committed to bringing the latest developments in mobile money management and payments to the unbanked across not just Africa but India and South East Asia as well."

Prateek Shrivastava, Managing Director of Monitise Africa, said: "Of Nigeria's 149 million strong population, 19 million have bank accounts, but 75 million have mobile phones - which amply illustrates the potential of mobile payments services across the country."

The first phase of the Monitise service will be launched in 2011 directly to consumers. In parallel the service will also be offered on a white label basis to the country's banks and financial service providers.
